Breaking down the Rossum signing

Crayton and Newman struggled mightily to return punts in Kansas City on Sunday. With Rossum in the fold, they can concentrate more on their regular duties, and we all know they have problems there as well.

Rossum is a sure-handed returner with eight career TDs on his resume. He should still have enough left in the tank at 33 to have another solid season.

Plus, his presence should also remove Felix Jones and Miles Austin from handling kickoffs, decreasing the chance for both to get injured.

Bottom line: It was a good move, although it does leave the Cowboys with three players on their roster who can’t do much else: Rossum, kickoff specialist David Buehler and third-string QB Stephen McGee, although Rossum is also a CB.
